I looooooooove tomatillo sauces, but nothing I make at home ever tastes right. Even the time we boiled the tomatillos, the salsa still tasted gross. To me, they taste like they're horribly unripe. ...

That looks like a nice couch. You say it's dark green, but it looks like a silvery sage or maybe even olive in the picture. Anyway, if you're starting to hate the color, the first thing you need to...

Here's the deal: the clutter is totally kicking your butt, and it's generating negative feelings in you toward your living space. I can sympathize, because I'm fighting the same battle! You need to...

Yeah, maybe the colors are a little over the top, but I hope to heaven that someone who appreciates vintage buys the place! That bathroom is gorgeous! If I were house-shopping and came across a bat...

I agree with a few things that have been said. I think you notice the scalloping so much because your eye lands on the fireplace and immediately wants to look somewhere, anywhere else. It's like ta...

That instructables thing with the wire basket was a little hard to understand. They should've had a good picture of the finished product for reference before they began the instructions.

Whatever the height, I am not leaning over the toilet to retrieve clean clothes. That's a Never. And where do you sit the laundry basket? On top of the toilet seat? That's another Never.

It's hardy, too, so don't worry about pruning it too much. I have one that's taking over my front yard now but when we planted it, it was this sad little twig that got drug all over the yard by the...

It looks like fun, but it's Betsey that makes me think that. In any other context? No way. Her place in Mexico, though, I LOVE. I think it was featured in one of the mags a while back.

Geckotoes is right--the idea is that the nails/screws holding the drywall to the studs are magnetic. You find a nail, you've found the stud. Another variation of the magnet on a string...

I'm not so sure about the shape. But I LOVE the buttons!

I have the same issue. A lot of my nana's things are in storage at my parents' house. I really would like to have a lot of them out but I'm limited on space, too. Things will be better for me when ...

I had the $40 version. Maybe our showerhead is too high on the wall, but the only setting that had enough pressure (I have stupidly thick hair) had such a wide spray that it was always spraying wat...

Oooh, I was going to suggest the Mexican talavera tiles too! When you put them all together to preview the designs on a webpage, they can look crazy, but that's not what you're plannin...

Love it! But I have to confess that I'd probably use it more as a landing strip/hallway console than for storing shoes.

Okay, THIS chartreuse looks like fun! Last time it was popular I remember it having much more of an olive cast. That was fugly. This I think I like.

I'm just laughing because that bright blue barrel looks exactly like the one from Living with Ed that Rachelle threw such a fit over for being ugly. It's funny to see it pop up in all its un...

I like the panel where it is, but I agree that you should keep your eyes open in case the perfect something presents itself for placement above the sofa, though do consider placing it slight...

oh I am in love......

Do the trees shade his ENTIRE property? Is there not a single sunny spot he could relocate the panels to? Sure, they wouldn't be as pretty... But I wonder how much they're taking into account the a...
